Hi All,
I'm new to datastage, I'm trying to read squential files using sequential file stage. I am using read method as "File Pattern" and also try to get the file name from where the data is being picked, but every time I do this I get only one file name though the data is being read from all the files.

Thanks in advance for help !

regards
Om prakash

Hi Om,

Welcome Aboard :D
Can you provide us the expression you used in File Pattern.
I guess you might have given only the path name. Hence the just the name of the files available under the path will be fed as input. Inorder to get the content of the file, try to give the patern (Pattern of the file names) as /path/*.txt or /path/*.dat or /path/abc*....
This should work.

Thanks for the reply Kumar,
I'm using the following expn:
/path/*.csv

Hi Om,
I ran in to a quick test, File Pattern = /path/*.txt.
Output was perfect.
When i gave File Pattern = /path
It gave me the list of files under the path.
BTW : If you are using parameter for input purpose, just check with hardcoding values.
